Centerprise Secures Exclusive UK Manufacturing Partnership with BOXX Technologies

This partnership localized a critical link in the high-end production supply chain, reducing lead times for UK-based VFX and animation studios that require specialized hardware for rendering and simulation. By moving manufacturing to South Wales, BOXX bypasses international shipping hurdles to better compete with Tier-1 OEMs like Dell and HP in the specialized creative hardware market. For the broader ecosystem, it signals a shift toward regional manufacturing for performance-critical hardware as processing demands for AI and high-fidelity 3D modeling rise. Monitor the launch of the joint partnership portal and its impact on UK enterprise hardware procurement cycles in the Architecture and Engineering sectors.

The global high-performance workstation market is shifting toward specialized, regional production as demand for real-time rendering and AI development accelerates. Per Intel Market Research (April 2026), the sector reached a valuation of $8.45 billion in 2025 and is projected to climb to $13.85 billion by 2034. While major players like Dell and HP dominate the generalist landscape, specialized vendors like BOXX Technologies are increasingly partnering with regional manufacturers like Centerprise to capture niche creative markets that require tailored hardware configurations for applications such as NVIDIA Omniverse and Unreal Engine.

In the UK specifically, the media and entertainment sector has become a high-growth driver for hardware spend. Per PwC UK (November 2025), the UK's entertainment and media market is forecast to reach £97 billion by 2029, a growth rate that outpaces other major European economies. This expansion is heavily fueled by AI adoption and a resurgence in high-end content generation, with 64% of industry CEOs acknowledging that AI will fundamentally transform their delivery models. Consequently, the demand for local, sovereign computing power has risen.

Centerprise’s expansion into specialized manufacturing aligns with its broader strategy of securing high-value government and enterprise hardware contracts. Per UK Government reporting (May 2025), Centerprise recently secured hardware refresh contracts with the Ministry of Defence worth over £143,000, underscoring its role as a key supplier for secure and specialized IT infrastructure. This partnership with BOXX follows a trend where hardware providers seek local manufacturing hubs to satisfy high-availability requirements and reduce supply chain volatility for enterprise-level projects.
